Generation modes
Rankahead supports three ways to generate a blog post, each suited to a different starting point.From suggestions
Use keyword suggestions surfaced by a prompt run. Best when you already have prompt data and want to act on a specific recommendation.
From GSC keyword
Target a keyword already appearing in your Google Search Console data. Best for reinforcing topics where you have existing organic presence.
From competitor
Analyze a competitor URL and generate content that covers the same topic from your brand’s perspective. Best for closing competitive gaps identified in your gap analysis.
From suggestions
When you run a prompt, Rankahead analyzes the AI-generated answers and surfaces keyword suggestions — topics where content could improve your visibility. Selecting From suggestions lets you pick one of those suggestions as the basis for your post. This mode works best when you want to act directly on what the AI is already surfacing for your tracked queries.From GSC keyword
If your Google Search Console account is connected, Rankahead can pull your keyword data and use a specific term as the target for a new post. This is useful when a keyword is driving impressions but not enough clicks, or when you want to reinforce a topic you already rank for with content that also performs in AI results.From competitor
Provide a competitor’s URL and Rankahead will analyze that page’s content to generate a post covering the same topic. Use this mode after identifying gaps in your gap analysis — topics where a competitor appears in AI answers but you do not.Post lifecycle
Every blog post moves through a defined set of statuses.Generating
After you submit a generation request, the post enters the GENERATING state. Rankahead’s AI writes the content in the background. This typically takes under a minute.
Draft
Once generation completes, the post becomes a DRAFT. You can review and edit the content at this stage. Only posts in DRAFT status can be edited.
If something goes wrong during generation, the post enters a FAILED status. You can retry generation from the post detail view.
Create your first blog post
Select a domain
Choose the domain you want to generate content for. The post will be attributed to this domain and its settings will apply.
Choose a generation mode
Pick one of the three modes: From suggestions, From GSC keyword, or From competitor.
- From suggestions
- From GSC keyword
- From competitor
Select the prompt you want to draw from, then optionally select a specific prompt run. Rankahead will use the keyword suggestions from that run.
Set a title (optional)
You can provide a custom title for the post. If you leave this blank, Rankahead will generate a title automatically based on the source content and target keyword.
Edit a draft
Once your post reaches DRAFT status, you can open it and edit the content in Rankahead’s built-in rich text editor. The editor uses TipTap format, which supports headings, lists, bold and italic text, links, and other standard formatting. When editing, focus on:- Accuracy — verify any facts, statistics, or product claims the AI generated
- Brand voice — adjust the tone to match your content style
- Structure — confirm the post addresses the target topic clearly and completely
- Internal links — add links to relevant pages on your site to strengthen topical authority
Publish to your CMS
After reviewing your draft, publish it directly to your connected CMS from the post detail view.Select a CMS connection
In the publish panel, choose which CMS connection to publish to. All active connections for your account are listed here.
Track post performance
After a post is published, Rankahead pulls Google Search Console data for that post’s URL. Once GSC has indexed the page and accumulated data (usually within a few days), you’ll see the following metrics on the post detail view:| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Clicks | Number of times users clicked through to your post from Google search results |
| Impressions | Number of times your post appeared in search results |
| CTR | Click-through rate — clicks divided by impressions |
| Position | Average ranking position in Google search results |
GSC metrics are not available immediately after publishing. Google typically takes 2–5 days to accumulate enough data for a post to appear in Search Console reports.
